He Stands by the People.

The letter of President Cleveland
to Secretary Lamar, instructing him
to stand by the poor western farmer
against the greed of the railroad
monopoly, has the ring of "Old
Hickory" No such stand has been
taken by the Executive since Jackson
declared that "by the Eternal the
national bank monopoly must go.
And it did go. So will the land
grabber under the courageous action
of Jackson's worthy Democratic
successor, Grover Cleveland.
The letter of President Cleveland
not only strikes the keynote of the
administrations land policy, but it
must also convince the people that
no matter how busy the Democratic
President may be with matters of
state, he is never too busy to listen
to the complaint or act in behalf of
the humblest farmer upon Uncle
SANS broad acreage. The door of
the White House will ever be open
to the poor While Grover Cleveland
is President. Nor will corporations
have any fault to find with his rul-
ings when their rights under the
law are questioned. President
Cleveland believes in justice for all
rich and poor, high and low.
This is the secret of his success.
He believes in doing right because
itisright, regardless of consequences.
And the people believe in him be-
cause he is fearless and honest
Ithaca Democrat.

AnyfIling 10 Win.

The New York Graphic: Converse
with any Republican nowadays who
fairly typifies the purpose and tenn
per of his party, and he will frank
" tell you that they mean to make
"a grand rush" next year to regain
control of the National Government.
Pursue your inquiries as to what is
meant by a grand rush, and you
will learn that they will shrink from
no tactics, however desperate, in or
der to win back the prize wrung
from them in 1884 They will re-
sort to any strategy, no matter how
INSCRIPTIONS, will consort with any
auxiliaries, no matter how disreput-
able; will discard no method, be it
ever so contemplate, that promises
to help them in their campaign.
There is to be no more sentimental
ity or foolish chivalry in their poll
tics. They leave to the Democracy
the option of emulating that French
officer who, when face to face with
his British adversaries, CALAMITY
DOTTED his capote and saluted them
with "You fire first, gentlemenr'
In a word, our Republican breth-
rem regard themselves as gambling
for an imperial stake. and they have
no scruple about playing with mark
ed cards. They think that the
Government belongs to them, and
that the end justifes the means.
1t is not a pleasant revelations;
nevertheless it is true, and there are
plenty of prominent Republicans
hercabouts who admit it to be true.
They speak in tones and words
which, if used by any CONSPICUOUS
Democrat, would provoke strident
howl from every Republican organ
in the land and would be denounced
as rancorous treason. But by some
strange alchemy what would be
treason in the Democrat becomes
outspoken virtue in the votary of
sgreat moral ideas" The latter
talks as if in the election of Cleve-
land he had been cheated out of his
rightful heritage, and he is prepared
to win back the the patrimony by
fair means or foul. IF necessary
fraternize with Henry George
and Terrace Powderly, coquette
with the anarchists and redouble his
slogan for the protection of down
trodden labor. Bugaboos he will
manufacture in abundance, nor will
he hesitate on occasions to repeat the
State-stealing strategy of 1S76-if
he can. Meantime, to mask his de-
signs, he will continue his clamorons
TRADE against the Democrats as en-
emies of an honest ballot.
1t is big scheme and bold one;
but it is liable to collapse for the
simple reason that there are more
Democrats than Republicans in the
United States, and they are wide
awake.

ization2 Certain Republicans are
entirely too "fresh" in chasing every
one in this State elected to office in
opposition to regular Democratic
nominees as Republicans. Carr
claims to be a Grecbacker, was form
erly a Democrat, and was never di-
rectly or indirectly a member of the
Republican organization, and would
deny to-day that he has any sympa-
thy with that party in its State or
National policy. tfthe Republicans
are willing to desert their principles
and go it blindly with candidate
whose politics are entirely at variance
with their own, for the sole purpose
of defeating Democrat, they ought
not to complain when that individ-
ual declines to wear their collar or
be controlled by their dictum. Our
Republicans friends may find after
awhile that it is not wise to "buy a
pig in poke"

what Our Neighbors Saw.

The Philadelphia Times has this
to say on the contest between Messrs.
LUCAS and FAULKNER:
The Senate will be likely to make
short work of the claim of Daniel B.
Lucas, of West Virginia, to the seat
in the Senate to which Charles =.
Faulkner was lately elected by the
Legislature. The regular session of
the Legislature failed to agree in
the effort to elect a Senator, and
when it adjourned, Governor Wilson
very properly filed the position by
appointing Mr.. Lucas; but a special
session of the Legislature was soon
convened, and the Legislature then
elected Mr.. Faulkner.
1t is argued that the special sess-
ion could not electa Senator because
the Constitution of the State requires
special sessions to be limited to the
consideration of such questions as
are specially named in the Govern
or's call That theory is correct as
to Legislation, but it is illogical when
applied to the election of a Senator
which is an ever present duty with
any and all Legislatures when there
is Senatorial vacancy. 1t is g
duty imposed by the law of the ma.
ton, and there is nothing in the
fundamental law of West Virgins
to antagonize it.
1t was the duty of the West Vir
ginia Legislature to vote for Senator
every day, in either regular Oh
special session, until Senator wal
chosen, and the Senate will resolv,
all doubts, if there are any doubts
on the subject, in favor of the rec
ognized authority to commission it
members.

ity of Senator FAULKNER being de-

Constitution says that no Judge

while he is serving his term. But
as this question has been decided

there is noneed of uneasiness among

The Senate decides upon the eligi-
bility of its members according to
the Constitution and Statutes of the
United States and not of individual
States. IF there is conflict between
our State Constitution and the laws
of the United States Governing the
election of Senators, it is all the same

present their credentials are eligible
according to the laws of the Uuited

It is not likely that the Virginia
Legislature will adjourn till some
disposition is made of the debt. 1t
is likely that the last proposition of

the condition that it be submitted to
the people for ratification. The

ave again remind the members
of the Legislature that unless they.
allow the people to decide for them
selves whether they will or not ac-
cept the best one of the propositions
made by the the bondholders, they
will soon have to meet the charge
upon every stump in the Common
wealth, and from every Malone pa
per, that they were afraid to trust
the people. What possible object
ion there can be to allowing the vo-
ters to speak for themselves, we can
not imagine. The Democratic par
ty must be substantially a unit on
the debt question, or Malone will be
the next United States Senator from
Virginia"
Virginia is bad enough off with the
debt hanging over her, without hav-
ing Malone saddled upon her again.

1t is evident tbat fine colonel neo- I

1t is evident that the colored peo-
pie are getting their eyes open, and
viii not much longer consent to be
the slaves of the Republican party,
to vote at their bidding. AT 1.-THE late
school election in this county, the
majority of the colored voters in
this county threw off the party
yoke, and boldly and openly voted
for Capt. Oliver Phelps, the Demo-
cratic nominee for County Superin-
tendent of Free Schools, and they
have the proud satisfaction of know
ing that they contributed to large
degree to his election. The.Ieaders
of the Republican party in this
county have lied to and deceived the
coIored voters so often, that they
have come to mistrust them. In the
face of the prophecies the Republi-
can leaders, that the eolored people
would be returned to slavery, &c, in
case the Democratscame into power.
the kindness and fairness of the
Democratic Administration toward
the colored people and the
baseness of Republican Senate
toward their race, has done
much to dispel the fears of these
people, and to divide the colored
vote throughout the country, and
will be felt in the next election.
